Wake Island, Japanese Bunker, Pacific Ocean: Wake Island is a coral atoll in the Micronesia subregion of the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The atoll is composed of three islets and a reef surrounding a lagoon. The nearest inhabited island is Utirik Atoll in the Marshall Islands, located 592 miles to the southeast. The island had little development until 1935, when Pan American Airways constructed an airfield and hotel to serve as a waypoint for trans-Pacific flying boats. Japan seized the island at the outset of World War II in December 1941; it remained under Japanese occupation until the end of the war in September 1945. Wikipedia

Zoro's sense of direction is so horrible that he accidentally ended up on Wake Cake Island arc on this screenshot

( I wish this scenario actually happened in the manga/anime too)
